<p>Are people working on the 2021 survey? I'd love to give some feedback on previous years, if possible (and/or help out if there is a need for more hands).</p>
<p>AIUI, the raw data for previous years is kept confidential for privacy reasons. Is there public access to summary statistics which are a bit more comprehensive than the blog post? The blog post is very cherry-picked and doesn't give a good overall picture of user sentiment.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="256841">@Nick Cameron</span> the survey last year was mostly done by <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116009">@nikomatsakis</span> and myself (with the help of an a third party for aggregating statistics paid for by Mozilla).</p>
<p>We have not yet started the next survey, but that should happen soon. We do have more detailed analysis that I wouldn’t call public, but perhaps it could be shared on a more limited basis.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116009">@nikomatsakis</span> shall we create a new Zulip channel for this year’s survey?</p>

<p>Thanks <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="224872">@rylev</span> I’d definitely be keen to get hold of that data if possible. And like I said, I’m happy to help out with this years survey</p>

<p>creating a new stream seems like a good idea</p>

<p>it's a good thought to start now</p>

<p>last year we did it kind of rushed and didn't have time to incorporate prior years' feedback</p>

<p>I agree with <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="256841">@Nick Cameron</span> that we should be willing to export more summary data-- as an example, some folks were asking for more details about IDE users and things last year</p>

<p>(and I recently got a request to give out the "source data" for the charts in the blog post, for example, which seems definitely harmless)</p>
